00:00And so it begins, the crumbling of the polished façade, the unravelling of the carefully

00:15curated life we've built for ourselves, free of scandal and inconvenient truths, of hidden

00:26desires and secret longings, but should they emerge, do we let them lie, or do we pursue

00:35them, and are we prepared for the consequences?

00:43Who's bossed that lady that just called?

00:48Did she upset you?

00:51No, no, not at all, I just, um, come here and take your linkters.

00:56But it's horrible.

01:00Oh, so is whooping cough.

01:05Now, go and do your reading.

01:07Go.

01:07So, I was thinking, Mama, I need a new riding coat, so should we visit Miss Louisa today?

01:22Oh, er... I think not. She mentioned last night she's booked up for several months in advance. Well, she'll fit me in. And I want to take some bonbons for the children. No. No?

01:37No. Their mother may not want them to have sweet things. It's so sad, Grandma Ma. Her father died before they were born and she had to bring them up all alone. So brave.

01:44Yes, very commendable. All the more reason not to overburden her. Are you joining us for the opera tonight?

01:51What is it? Traviata?

01:58All that weeping and wailing annoys me.

02:00June, you should wear the pink silk. I've invited the cartarets to our box.

02:05Why? So we can all become better acquainted.

02:12So we can all become better acquainted.

02:14what is it traviata all that weeping and wailing annoys me june you should wear the pink silk

02:23i've invited the carterettes to our box why so we can all become better acquainted

02:30june must be thrilled so many young men clamoring to dance what a picture she looked and that gown

02:47was a triumph almost a disaster but the girl worked wonders girl you were ogling her remember

02:53that little chick a bit you might have introduced me i took care not to she seemed awfully thick with

02:59joe the dressmaker who's this pretty young thing quite charming remind me why she was thick with joe

03:06well perhaps he was thanking her for saving the day can you get an appointment with her that's

03:10what i'm hoping for after june's ball everyone will be after her shall we

03:16what are you doing seeking employment was a typist oh how demeaning

03:35i need something to tide me over until i can find a way to pay for paris

03:41oh you're still persisting with that madness why wouldn't i

03:54thank you very much thank you very much thank you sir good to see you

04:13the point is there is no prior instance of a chairman resigning and therefore no precedent for

04:18the eldest son's accession before his father's death so in the case of joe increasingly at odds

04:23with the aims of the firm if it were brought before the board how much further he might deviate

04:28how that could endanger the future of the company sheer insanity of prizing tradition over merit

04:33it's archaic it's wasteful and if it goes ahead a missed opportunity it is not a foregone conclusion

04:39i will insist it be brought before the board and in the meantime we build the case against joe

04:56i saw her at the pool last night the girl from venice

05:22louisa how did she come to be there she makes gowns tunes gown

05:32she's a widow she lives in soho do you have any idea no not an inkling

05:37will you see her again i don't know

05:40were you told who to marry

05:51i chose freely

05:55your father was my first love

05:58and when he died i was sure i would never get over him but he did nothing compares to first love

06:05we persuade ourselves the fever is real and then if we're lucky we meet our true soulmate

06:15and discover something more profound so papa's your soulmate like magnets perhaps the attraction of opposites

06:33you

06:35gentlemen

06:37today i can announce that foresight and co has been offered a unique opportunity

06:42my old friend sir jimmy buckland has finally succeeded in his scheme to deploy a tribe from

06:46upper india to the gold mines of salon carried in the teeth of great difficulties it should double

06:51the output of his mines and quarter the lives of his workers well whether one expires of miserable old

06:57age on one's own barren soil or prematurely of damp at the bottom of a foreign mine i hardly of small

07:02consequence as long as it benefits the shareholders well i imagine it's some consequence to the widows

07:09may i continue

07:10thank you thank you sir jim as a personal favor to me has given us advance notice so that we may use

07:19the information to our advantage by offering our clients and indeed ourselves the chance to invest

07:26it is quite literally a golden opportunity

07:31it's a risk which we have an impeccable record for calculating still feels like gambling to me

07:40are we agreed yes agreed yes adjourned

07:54i'll be back later i have an appointment anyone we know no

08:10is it to your taste

08:24i could admire the tonal qualities but no it doesn't move me may i ask what does

08:31a more vibrant style something which captures the fleetingness of a moment rather than preserves it

08:37i donaspic you're a romantic my stepmother says i'm utterly unfit for decent society

08:44your crime i dance the polka the waltz the ballet

08:53my mother was a dancer and i seem to have inherited her talent passion there i said it now's your chance

09:01to escape and yet as you see i'm still here

09:17so no escape from what the opera the carter it's the scheme to throw me to the wolves horatio

09:35oh isn't he more of a poodle

09:43well look who i have i know she's not mine but i take her with me when i'm feeling vexed or miserable

09:50and she always cheers me up is that why you got her

09:54she was a gift from a friend someone i met in italy

10:04an attachment short-lived let me guess she wasn't suitable you were forbidden to pursue her we just

10:12went our separate ways and then you met mama yes i'm not sure i want to fall in love sounds like torture

10:24well he can also be magnificent

10:33joe never seems to learn i was today in the boardroom wittering on about widows and gambling

10:40oh poor cyril how he frets when he knows i'm going out shall i stay behind and pet him for you

10:45oh dear no that would defeat the whole purpose of the evening the purpose being to dangle june and

10:50die before the carterets and hope they bite what he fails to grasp is the need for us to be led by

10:54sound commercial nurse darling we simply want you to find someone who deserves you we were to

11:00maintain our position as london's premier brokers the board should be worried and you look

11:04so handsome the board will be worried she won't be able to resist you i will make sure of that

11:18so glad you could join us lady carteret oh my dear to be seen in the company the illustrious

11:38foresight who wouldn't leap at the chance lovely to see so many young people but sad to think they're

11:48seldom masters of their own fate i like to think we take their views into account tradition is what

11:55counts stability no impulsive changing of the guard but sometimes is it not a fresh perspective that is

12:04exactly what is needed provided the proposed candidates up to the task i understand you're an

12:10avid reader but i have you read frankenstein uh no i you'll find you have some sympathy for the

12:21creature no will of its own forced to do another's bidding until of course it rebels

12:27ah you seem to have left my wife at home perhaps i could prevail on your father or you could just not drink

12:45oh my cousins mama i might just um of course

12:57i do beg your pardon are you hurt do i look like a damsel in distress on the contrary

13:16are you with friends family my mother thinks this is the place to meet the right people

13:22would i fall into that category i seriously doubt it

13:25do i sense a renegade

13:31june foresight

13:34philip bussini

13:37buccaneer

13:55oh

14:05so

14:06oh

14:09oh

14:10oh

14:17oh

14:19oh

14:20oh

14:21I adore traviata. Makes one positively melt, don't you find?

14:51I adore, I adore, I adore.

15:21Did you miss me, Pudding? Oh, don't suck. I promise I'll make it up to you.

15:35Always affecting, traviata. Lost love and all that.

15:43Perhaps we should be celebrating love found.

15:46Perhaps we should.

15:51Can you believe June tonight?

16:07Determined not to cooperate.

16:11The Carterets, our plans.

16:15Will you speak to her?

16:18Saying what?

16:19That there's a time and a place for everything.

16:24And the time for June is now.

16:29She's 18.

16:32She has to put away childish things.

16:37She worships you.

16:39If you tell her, we would only ever choose someone worthy of her.

16:48But perhaps you think your father made the wrong choice for you.

16:51I made the choice.

17:04I made the choice.

17:04Is it?

17:05I made the choice.

17:10I made the choice.

17:13She's very good.

17:15I made it.

17:17I made the choice.

17:18I made the choice.

17:19The choice is to convince her and be about to be a new one.

17:21It's amazing.

17:23I have to do.

17:23The choice is to keep us.

17:25I have to do a new one.

17:26I have to stay with my father.

17:28I have to be a new one.

17:29I have to do a new one.

17:31I have to do a new one.

17:32You must go.

17:37I can't bear to leave you.

17:41Your family needs you.

17:44Your father has summoned you home.

17:47And I retire him.

17:49Where will you be?

17:51Florence, Rome?

17:54Will you write to me?

17:56Tell me where you'll be.

17:57Don't stop.

17:59Let's not pretend.

18:05What?

18:07These past few months...

18:09Have been the most precious of my life.

18:11And mine too, but...

18:13We always knew they would come to an end.

18:17Why must they?

18:19Because I am a lady's maid and you're a gentleman.

18:23What, and no gentleman ever married a lady's maid?

18:27You're dreaming.

18:33Believe me, I'm not.

18:37If you still feel this way in a year's time...

18:40I feel the same way in 50 years time.

18:43Then I have your address.

18:49All right.

18:55Wherever you are...

18:57I'll come to you.

18:59I'll come to you.

19:29Luisa.

19:35Luisa, please.

19:37Luisa, please.

19:39Please, keep your voice down.

19:54My assistant is asleep.

19:58Why have you come?

20:03Honestly, I don't know.

20:04To prove you aren't a figment of my imagination.

20:13Or to see the only person who ever completely understood me.

20:19Did.

20:20We are very different now.

20:22Yeah, here we are.

20:35Do you still paint?

20:40Really.

20:42It's one of the many things I gave up to serve the God of Commerce.

20:47Sad to hear it.

20:51Well, tell me about your husband.

20:53Late husband.

20:55Is there any point in...

20:57Well, were you happy?

21:01Did you love him?

21:04Uh, that's my assistant.

21:09Um, do you sleepwalks?

21:11You must go.

21:14Please don't come here again.

21:34Please don't.

21:36Please don't go.

21:50Holy sauce...

21:51Please don't.

21:53You must go.

21:53No.

21:53ORGAN PLAYS

22:23ORGAN PLAYS

22:53You needn't have gone to such trouble. I'm happy with bread and cheese.

23:13Oh, so am I.

23:13And when nature arranges a feast for the soul, what more does one need?

23:20When we lived in Paris, we used to picnic by the Seine.

23:22You were happy there.

23:28When my mother was alive and I could watch her dance.

23:30And you were destined to follow in her footsteps.

23:33As you were destined to follow your father's.

23:35I seem to have a talent for numbers.

23:40In their own way, they have the magic which intrigues me.

23:43You make them sound quite mysterious.

23:45Well, they are.

23:46Also immensely practical.

23:49Like you, one learns techniques, one practices one's craft.

23:53But beyond that, one learns to trust one's instincts.

23:56Exactly that?

24:02Not that I lay claim to any form of artistry.

24:05Perhaps you underestimate yourself.

24:07You're dancing.

24:19Is it the only profession you've ever considered?

24:21I've prepared for it my whole life.

24:23And if my audition goes well...

24:25Your audition?

24:26I sold my jewellery to go and try for the Côte d'Ibally.

24:29In Paris?

24:30Yes, in Paris.

24:31And when would this be?

24:34I leave in a month.

24:37Oh.

24:46I'm convinced he has Miss Carteret in his sights.

24:49Parcheter told me he's on the river this afternoon.

24:52With a picnic.

24:53Which can only mean...

24:55An imminent announcement.

24:57I'm sure we can all agree Olivia Carteret is an excellent choice.

25:01Certainly fits the bill for a man destined to be chairman.

25:06Miss Heron.

25:08We've known each other a matter of weeks.

25:10So I have no right to question any choice you might make.

25:12But today when I heard you speak of Paris...

25:14Oh, you've got me rash, irresponsible.

25:16Far from it.

25:17I understood the impulse.

25:19The desire.

25:20And I recognized that I wish to encourage it.

25:24Encourage?

25:25It's true that Paris has a somewhat shady reputation.

25:28Though I myself found it captivating.

25:31You've been?

25:32In my youth.

25:34And would not be averse to visiting again.

25:37If you were there.

25:40Though my family will no doubt they disapprove.

25:43Perhaps we needn't tell them.

25:45Mrs. Forsyte.

26:04I hope I'm not disturbing you.

26:08Won't you take a seat?

26:09I've always been curious about you.

26:18The girl who first captured his heart.

26:22Not that he ever spoke of you.

26:24One just instinctively knows.

26:27That one wasn't the first.

26:28What made you come to my house?

26:35You begged me to.

26:37And you were curious.

26:40And hoped to see him.

26:41I've never attempted to see him.

26:43I've never tried to contact him.

26:45I've never asked him for anything.

26:48Does he know about the children?

26:50No.

26:52You understand he never can.

26:54It would ruin him.

26:55In his business, reputation is everything.

26:59And in mine.

27:01I came here with nothing.

27:03Single-handedly raised.

27:04These two children.

27:06Whilst building a business.

27:07Do you seriously imagine that I wish to endanger my own good name?

27:09And should he try to see you?

27:14I will tell him to go away.

27:15I will tell him to go away.

27:25I will tell him.

27:50I will tell him.

27:51I thought your scrawling days were long gone.

28:05Something you wanted, Samus.

28:07Perhaps you should give it all up.

28:09Quit the grind and daub away to your heart's content.

28:14Perhaps I should.

28:16Why don't you?

28:19Ask my father or yours.

28:21Of course.

28:24You're here to save us.

28:27How noble.

28:32Good day to you, Samus.

28:45What did I say?

28:47First time we boxed at Oxford.

28:49I never make it as a fighter because I like it a bit.

28:51Remind me why we became friends.

28:56Because we both needed a punch back.

28:58And I was missing Samus.

28:59Well, we're keen to hear Joe's vision for the company.

29:10Vision?

29:10Ahead of the vote.

29:13What vote?

29:14There'll be no vote.

29:16The decision is mine.

29:17Yeah, but it must be ratified.

29:18It's tradition.

29:20Eldest son to eldest son.

29:22Well, with respect.

29:23Well, you broke with tradition when you pushed Joe into the chair before your demise.

29:28Even so...

29:29I mean, surely.

29:31You want all the board to be fully behind the new appointment?

29:34Don't think I don't know what you're about.

29:38You have your eye on the prize for Soames.

29:41I think we both know he's the better man for the job.

29:53Isaac.

29:54Just curious.

29:56Did you pick up any sense from the other partners what they think of Joe's promotion?

30:00I know what I think.

30:04Tell me.

30:06He's passionate.

30:07Struggles to compromise.

30:09But that's why this company needs him.

30:13In ten years, he's never let you down.

30:18I don't believe he ever will.

30:22Thank you, Isaac.

30:30Your father just told me.

30:38Beggars believe the idea of a vote.

30:41Expected.

30:43Well, you know James is setting you up to fail.

30:45Quite.

30:47Disappoint him.

30:50You have the vision, the ability.

30:54You deserve it.

30:56We deserve it.

30:57So let's be very considered about our next move.

31:03I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

31:05I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

31:11I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

31:13I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

31:15I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

39:42The children.

39:48Nothing about their existence.

39:54Is simple.

39:57And clearly there are consequences.

39:59Yes.

40:02The possibility of discovery.

40:06How it can be used against you.

40:09Just as we're in touching distance of everything we've worked for.

40:12We're a partnership.

40:18A family.

40:20Let's not complicate or compromise.

40:23We can put all of this behind us and go on as before.

40:27I don't think you understand.

40:30I can't go on as before.

40:32Before I was unaware.

40:33But you're under no obligation.

40:36I can't wish away two human beings, Francis.

40:42You mean to acknowledge them?

40:45I mean not to know their existence.

40:47For now.

41:02Promise me.

41:04No one need know.

41:07It would be catastrophic.

41:10For you as chairman.

41:12For us as a family.

41:14For me as your wife.

41:18I promise.

41:26How could you?

41:40How can you see yourself?

41:45If you try.

41:47What times do you come to go?

41:49What time has happened?

41:51There are four seconds left.

41:52You look understood with your wife and

41:53when looking.

41:55I am assassination.

41:57Where can you find nothing right?

41:58You come to find us a car on the window.

42:00How are sein?

42:02You come to hold yourself.

42:05Whenever you do what you do,

42:37What did you hear?

42:55All of it.

43:04I knew her before your mother and I had met.

43:07But it makes no difference to us.

43:09You're still my beloved daughter.

43:10Except now I have to share you.

43:11No.

43:12Mama has to share you.

43:13No.

43:13It's her, isn't it, Louisa?

43:28The one who gave you this.

43:29Forgive me, Miss Herron, but in the spirit of our recent conversation, I wanted to bring you a gift.

43:55Oh, they're beautiful.

44:06Oh, thank you.

44:07I hope they might speed you on your way to Paris and the fulfillment of your desires.

44:15Oh, Mr. Forsyte, you've been such a friend to me.

44:19I hope so.

44:22I do.

44:25And yet...

44:27With your permission, I would like to think of myself as more than a friend.

44:36Forgive me.

44:42I'm well-schooled in matters of business.

44:46Less so in matters of the heart.

44:50Which, to be frank, has never been touched.

44:53And by a single soul.

44:56Until...

44:59Believe me, I never intended to speak so soon, but...

45:03Your imminent departure, I...

45:05I can no longer leave unsaid what I've known from the moment I saw you.

45:15You are my heart's desire.

45:17I cannot imagine a life without you.

45:24Mr. Forsyte, this is...

45:27Unexpected.

45:29But not, I hope, unwelcome.

45:32I...

45:33To be truthful, I'm a little astonished.

45:37We scarcely know each other.

45:39But what we do know might lead us to be hopeful.

45:42Perhaps...

45:45Um...

45:47Then let me say one more thing.

45:55I'm convinced we could be happy.

45:59But if you find we cannot...

46:01Though, God help me, I'll move heaven and earth to make us so.

46:05I will release you.

46:07And you will be free.

46:08That's...

46:12Very generous.

46:15But if you agree to our engagement...

46:18We will go to Paris together.

46:21And from there, plan our future.

46:25And it will be all that you've dreamed of.

46:28And more.

46:31Lily.

46:33Lily.

46:34Just imagine, Cyril.

46:39Dear Soames engaged.

46:40And replacing Joa's chair.

46:44That day could be closer than you think.

46:47Come on, child.

47:08Spit it out.
